About me
Freelance surface design student located in Somerset currently finalising level 6. Gathering inspiration from all sides of lifestyle, with consideration towards the old and the new. Working alongside with textiles and pattern design, applying them to surface with an exaggerated outlook to invigorate the emotions within. Intentionally suiting towards courageous pleasure seekers with a theatrical style of fashion. Aiming to achieve a vibrant atmosphere on the streets and in our hearts.
Projects
  • CHANGE PROJECT
    CHANGE PROJECTA week project to see where I can apply my textiles, in an 'outside the box' area. The aim is to produce three merchandise items for the end of year exhibition for the University Cent Somerset. For this project I am prepared to create embellished necklaces and UV fairy lights from 3D textiles. Finally, I shall create psychedelic berets with samples made with a embellisher. These are inlfuenced by my last innovation module, in which, an art installation was curated by myself focused on fluorescent pigments. Note the change of colour pallete for the new products.
  • AMPLIFIED MAJESTICS
    AMPLIFIED MAJESTICSInfluenced by magnified skins and brush strokes. An assembley of PVC, fur, foil, flock and digital prints. All arranged to suit festival apparel for those pleasure seekers. Collection to be hosted at New Designers 2018.
